This classic
film adapts Laura Z. Hobson's novel about a writer (Gregory Peck) who
is assigned to write an article on antisemitism in America and decides
to pretend he is a Jew. He discovers, to his surprise and confusion, that
antisemitism is rampant in postwar America.

"Like
the novel, the movie contends that decent, intelligent people, who know
better than to be anti-Semitic but take no militant steps to stamp out
the social weed, are chiefly to blame for its hardy growth."
-Time, November 1947
